    Navy, I believe you need to increase the volume to the rear, just my thoughts. I know its frustrating in a situation like this but volume and pressure are different and on brakes pressure can be held off but the mc determines volume not the valves assocciated with pressure. If there is anything to gain its you now know as i mentioned in the first of this thread there are many rods running around with no rear brakes.

    small update on brakes, they still suck. Here's what I found with new pressure gauge that I could screw into the bleeder ports on the calipers. In a panic stop, 6 to 1 ratio, Rear hit 600 psi, Front hit 1100 psi .
    Have to find time to talk to the pros again at MBP and Wilwood and give them the test results.
    Its getting close to hotrod season again here in TX. high 70's today.
